Dice Commands

DAOC Command System Dicebag

Written by Covenent@M*U*S*H, (very) loosely based on Monster@Forgetown's
Dicebag v2.3.

Syntax:

+roll[/<roll sequence>] [<target>][=<explanation1>[, ... , <explanationN>]]
+roll/alias/<roll sequence> [<alias>][=<explanation1>[, ... , <explanationN>]]
+roll/unalias <alias>
+roll/listalias [<pattern>]

The +roll command provides you with a powerful, flexible, general-purpose
dicebag.

With no arguments, +roll rolls a standard 20-sided die (D20) and displays the
results to everyone in the room.  Given an <explanation>, it will show the
explanation alongside the roll, so everyone knows why you did it.

With a <roll sequence>, +roll can do a variety of things.  Roll sequences are
composed by joining the symbols below together with / (see the examples).  In
many cases you can avoid the / and it will still work, but it is guaranteed to
work with the /.  Every symbol that produces a roll (so not plain <number>,
parentheses, etc.) can be associated with an explanation in the <explanation>
list, separated by commas.  The symbols are:

fail      - Simulates automatic failure with a 20-sided die
            Example: +roll/fail=Failing for dramatic reasons.

succ      - Simulates automatic success with a 20-sided die.
            Example: +roll/succ=Succeeding for dramatic reasons.

d<number> - Rolls a <number>-sided die and reports the result.
            Example: +roll/d10=Rolling a 10-sided die
            Example: +roll/d20/d10=Rolling a 20-sided die, then a 10-sided die

stat1[:<stat2>]
          - Rolls against your <stat> and reports whether you succeeded or
            failed.  If a <target> was given to the +roll, it rolls your
            <stat> against the target's <stat2>, if given.  If <stat2> is not
            given, it rolls your <stat> against the target's <stat>.  <stat>
            and <stat2> must be one of the abbreviations listed in +explain
            stats.
            Example: +roll/int=Rolling against my intelligence
            Example: +roll/str Discordia=Rolling my strength against
            Discordia's
            Example: +roll/pres:cour Discordia=Rolling my presence against
                     Discordia's courage

<number>+ OR <number>*
          - A number without a letter in front of it and with one of + or * to 
            its right means that every roll in the symbol or subsequence after
            it receives a +<number> or *<number> modifier (that is, the value
            of the roll is added to <number> or multiplied by <number>,
            respectively).
            Example: +roll/2+/d20=Rolling a d20 with a +2 modifier
            Example: +roll/-5+/2*/int=Rolling against my intelligence with an
                     x2 - 5 modifier 
<number>  - A <number> without a letter in front of it or an operator (+,*) to
            its right means that the next symbol or subsequence is going to be
            repeated <number> times.
            Example: +roll/2/d20=Rolling 2 d20s.
            Example: +roll/5/2+/pres/d10 Discordia=Rolling my presence against
                     Discordia's (with a +2 modifier) 5 times, then rolling a
                     d10

( and )   - start and end a roll subsequence.  Used for grouping, e.g. for
            multiple rolls or modifiers.  You can have parentheses inside each
            other for extra-complex expressions.
            Example: +roll/2/(/d20/str/)=Rolling a d20,Rolling my strength
                     (It will be repeated twice)
            Example: +roll/2+/(/int/3*/d10/)=Rolling against my intelligence
                     with a +2 modifier, then rolling a d10 with a 3x + 2
                     modifier

The final type of symbol is an <alias>.  To use an <alias>, it must have been
previously defined by you using +roll/alias using the syntax above.  When you
write an alias as a symbol, it automatically gets replaced with whatever you
defined the alias to be earlier.  Also, unless you give it a nonblank
<explanation>, any <explanation>s you associated with it will appear in the
correct places.  Here is a simple example:

First you type:
  > +roll/alias/agi dodge=Dodging
You see:
  +roll: Alias 'dodge' set.
Then if you type:
  > +roll/dodge
You see:
  <Your character> picks up the dicebag and rolls against its agility
    <Dodging>.
  <Your character>'s roll <succeeds/fails>!

To list all available aliases (or list only those matching a particular
wildcard <pattern>), type +roll/listalias [<pattern>].  For example, if you
just had the dodge alias defined, you might type:
  > +roll/listalias
And see:
  DODGE: +roll/agi <target>=Dodging

To unset a previously set alias, use +roll/unalias <alias>.  For example, if
you decided you didn't want the old dodge alias anymore, you might type:
  > +roll/unalias dodge
And see:
  +roll: Alias 'dodge' removed.

More features are in the works.  If you have any additional questions or think
a feature should be added, talk to or @mail Dionysus@DAOC (or
Covenent@M*U*S*H).

@mail[/switch] <player-list> = [<subject>]/<msg> Mails players the subject and message indicated, switch = /urgent - mail is marked as "Urgent", /silent – no notification to sender that mail was sent, /nosig - no mail signature.

@mail <msg #> Shows you specific message indicated by #.

@mail/purge Actually deletes all messages marked for clearing with @mail/clear. This is done automatically when you log out.

@mail/tag [<msg-list> | all>] @mail/untag [<msg-list> | all>] These commands tag or untag mail in the current folder. Tagged mail can be later acted on en masse by using "tagged" as the msg-list for other commands (which does *not* untag them afterward). If no msg-list is specified, all messages in the current folder are tagged/untagged. If "all" is given as the msg-list, all mail in *all* folders is tagged/untagged. (Ex: To clear all mail from Paul and Chani, @mail/tag *paul, @mail/tag *chani, @mail/clear tagged, @mail/untag all).
